From: Luis R. Rodriguez on
I have been reluctant to boot to 2.6.35-rc due to the large set of
regression list and the amount of work I needed to actually get done
on 2.6.35. Last I checked the regression list it was getting small so
I gave it a spin today. No luck. I get some bootup error from udevd
and ext2/ext3/ext4, something like this:

EXT3-fs (sda1): error: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional
features (240)
EXT2-fs (sda1): error: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional
features (240)
EXT4-fs (sda1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
VFS: Mounted root (ext4 filesystem) readonly on device 8:1
Freeing unused kernel memory: 708k freed
Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 102040k
Freeing unused kernel memory: 764k freed
Freeing unused kernel memory: 1796k freed
udevd: failed to create queue file: No such file or directory
udevd: error creating queue file

The picture:

http://bombadil.infradead.org/~mcgrof/images/2010/ext4-option-240-fails-2.6.35-rc5.jpg

I then decided to pull Linus' latest but it didn't help either. I
don't recall seeing this reported on the regression list yet.
Essentially I cannot move forward after this happens, even on single
user boot and disabling wireless, which was my main suspect first as
I'm using wireless-testing.git.

I can certainly bisect but first wanted to see if this was already known.

This succeeded.

It looks like you need to enable:

CONFIG_DEVTMPFS
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT

Thanks, it also turned out that when I upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10 to
Ubuntu 10.04 it replaced my own /sbin/installkernel so this was likely
another issue. My /sbin/installkernel changes allow for easy initramfs
installation on Debian/Ubuntu but my patches have been ignored my the
maintainer.

But anyway I also now get another boot failure with:

Hmm...the scripts in the initrd are not doing what is expected -
perhaps if you didn't use:
linux$ fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version -luis1 --initrd kernel-image

....or if there are eg initrd script modifications on the filesystem
when it cooked the initd.

You could just try eg:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-2.6.35-9-generic_2.6.35-9.14_amd64.deb

....although it will regenerate it's initrd, so may suffer the same fate.

I am not using that to build my kernels I just build my kernels with

make
sudo make modules_install install

I haven't modified any initrd scripts.

Going to give that a shot, thanks.

OK we'll see then.
